Calvin Harris - I Created Disco on CD

Description

Amazon.co.uk It takes a special sort of guts to call your debut album I Created Disco, but that’s Calvin Harris all over. Hailing from Dumfries, Scotland, Harris comes on not unlike a day-glo cross between Les Rythmes Digitales, Prince and Mike ‘The Streets’ Skinner, dropping witty rhymes and sweet falsetto melodies atop chunky, ‘80s influenced electro-pop. "Merrymaking at My Place" is an all-back-to-mine anthem built from digital squeaks and a palpitating disco bassline that sees Harris leading the party in swaggering geezer manner. "Vegas" is as close as you’ll get to a bassbin-shaking ghetto anthem when you hail from north of Hadrian’s Wall. And "Colours" is a cheeky plea to any potential girlfriend that they dress to impress: "Get some colours on!" Rumour has it Harris has been recording with Kylie, and it’s easy to believe. Much like his lyrics, you see, these tracks are simple, but undeniably effective. Excellent breakthrough single "Acceptable In The ‘80s" bumps along with exactly the right mix of retro cheese and modern production gleam, while the title track pits stonking basslines and electronic whooshes against an amusing monologue about how Harris did, in fact, create disco. You won’t believe him, exactly, but he’s certainly got the patter. -- Louis Pattison Product description About this ItemThe item format is a CDThe Artist Name is Calvin HarrisThe Title is I Created DiscoThe Catalog Number is FLYEYE007Condition NewOther CommentsNew Store StockThe Media Condition is NewThis is new and unplayed The Sleeve Condition is NewNew unplayed We Use Stock ImagesBecause we have over 2 million items for sale we have to use stock images, this listing does not include the actual image of the item for sale.

The outer ca Review On I Created Disco Calvin Harris has exquisitely tailored a calm, considered rumination on life's great upheavals inspired by the works of great literary talents like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and Chehkov. In a subtle, poignant and trenchant work he toys with themes that!blah, blah, blah. Scottish irony loon and post-modern blockrocker Calvin Harris doesn't do anything as effete and pointless as depth, but then, why should he? Depth and dance music, post-James Brown, are almost always mutually exclusive. Dance music should make you want to dance, possibly sing, and jump around with your friends and loved ones. That is why it exists. Great dance music can be more then a whopping great mass of spine-cracking beats with a few hooks and a colossal bassline but those
